OK, I've added this and it works, but...

...only if I continue to use os.sep. I've put it in a try block like this:

try:
  self.handler = __import__(module).__dict__[handler]()
except ImportError:
  self.handler = __import__(module.replace(".", os.sep)).__dict__[handler]()

but it always uses the exception case. I haven't tried it with OS X or Windows 
yet. Perhaps they'll use the first case properly.

Thanks for your help.
